Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The `International Heidelberg Workshop on TeV Gamma-Ray Astrophysics' brought together astrophysicists from the various fields which play a role in the formation of high energy gamma-ray emission. In particular, theoretical and observational aspects of the physics and astrophysics of pulsars and quasars, the acceleration of particles at Supernova Remnants and other strong astrophysical shock fronts, and cascade processes in universal background photon fields were comprehensively discussed in more than thirty reviews by leading experts. In their entirety these reviews describe the birth of a new field of astronomy. This field concerns cosmic gamma-rays of very high energy which are observed with ground-based optical telescopes due to the Cherenkov emission of the secondary particles created by the interaction of these gamma-rays with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere. Beyond that, the workshop encompassed the latest developments and trends in theory and observation of cosmic gamma-ray sources of all energies, from nuclear gamma-ray lines in the MeV-region, through the Bremsstrahlung, Inverse Compton, and pion decay continuum emission, to gamma-rays due the decay of exotic relics from the early Universe. Audience: Specialists as well as students in physics and astrophysics and young research workers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As neutrally-charged astrophysical messengers, gamma rays serve as powerful tools for determining the origins of incredibly high-energy particles from across our universe [1]. Gamma rays are considered to have the highest energy of all electromagnetic radiation, with energies spanning from 0.5 MeV to about 100 TeV [2]. Although lower-energy gamma rays can originate from within our solar system, gamma rays in the GeV and TeV ranges tend to originate from sources beyond our solar system [1]. By investigating these sources, we can understand more about the astrophysical phenomena that characterize the most extreme conditions in our universe, such as supernova remnants, gamma-ray bursts, and pulsars [3]. The High Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory (HAWC) is one of the most sensitive gamma-ray detectors in the very high energy (VHE) regime, with the capability to observe gamma rays from 100 GeV and 100 TeV [4]. In 2017, HAWC conducted a blind search encompassing two thirds of the sky and 508 days of observations [4]. In this search, there were 16 VHE gamma-ray excesses that were unassociated with any previously discovered gamma-ray sources [4]. Now with data from 1523 days of observations, we begin to study these 16 unassociated candidate TeV sources in more detail. In this work, we update the locations of maximum significance for these candidate TeV sources and analyze the temporal progression of their significance and flux. This allows us to determine if they have faded into the diffuse gamma radiation or if they can still be considered unassociated candidate TeV sources. We then reevaluate the morphologies and spectral energy distributions of the remaining sources and discuss any recent observations from other gamma-ray observatories. We find that 10 of these 16 unassociated candidate TeV sources can still be considered candidate sources. In the future, we plan to use data from other observatories to continue to put better constrains on the morphology and spectral energy distributions for these sources and better understand their acceleration mechanisms. In addition, we plan to conduct a similar investigation with new HAWC excesses discovered with recent data from 1523 days of observations [5]. By investigating these excesses in the high-energy gamma-ray sky, we can discover and characterize new extreme astrophysical phenomena and ultimately uncover valuable information about the physical mechanisms that accelerate particles to very high energies.

This book was released on 1991-07-23 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings present new results obtained from recent observations by the Haverah Park, Yakutsk, Fly's Eye and Akeno groups on the shape of the energy spectrum, the arrival direction (point source) and the nature of the most energetic cosmic rays. They also contain an in-depth discussion of the present status of observations on discrete sources at TeV and PeV energies. A detailed discussion of the physics problems related to the origin, acceleration mechanism and propagation of the most energetic cosmic rays in the galactic and extragalactic space is given in relation to observable features.
Download or read book Gamma Rays in the 100 TeV Region from Potential Galactic PeVatron Candidates written by Sei Kato and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents two candidates for astrophysical accelerators of cosmic rays with petaelectron-volt (PeV) energies in our Galaxy, the so-called PeVatrons, through the observation of sub-PeV gamma rays performed by the Tibet air shower array. The two gamma-ray sources are TASG J1844-038—a newly detected source in this presented work—and HESS J1849-000. Reconstructing their gamma-ray energy spectra up to the sub-PeV range and also analyzing the archive data published by a radio survey, the book discusses in depth the emission mechanisms of the observed gamma rays and suggests that these two gamma-ray sources are candidates for PeVatrons. The results give insights into the population of PeVatron in the Galaxy, which is important to consider their contribution to the PeV cosmic rays observed at the Earth.

Download or read book Extensive Air Showers written by M. V. S. Rao and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1998 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays carry information about their sources and the intervening medium apart from providing a beam of particles for studying certain features of high energy interactions currently inaccessible at man-made accelerators. They can at present be studied only via the extensive air showers (EAS's) they generate while passing through the Earth's atmosphere, since their fluxes are too low for the experiments of limited capability flown in balloons and satellites. The EAS is generated by a series of interactions of the primary cosmic ray and its progeny with the atmospheric nuclei. The exponential nature of the atmosphere spreads the air showers laterally over several hundreds of meters, thus enabling ground-based arrays of relatively inexpensive detectors to record and study them.This book describes the EAS phenomenology, the detectors and techniques used, and the latest results on the energy spectrum and composition of the primaries of EAS's and the results on high energy interactions obtained from EAS studies. It also describes the new TeV and PeV gamma ray astronomy (which has been developing over the past decade) and the newly emerging neutrino astronomy, which are related to the origin of cosmic rays.This book serves as an introduction as well as a reference for researchers in the field.

This book was released on 1998-05-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proceedings of the first meeting on “New Worlds in Astroparticle Physics” focus on the joint field of particle physics and astrophysics. This is a field widely open to both theory and experiment. Important questions of particle physics — from the role of the Higgs scalar to the deconfined QCD phase, the developments beyond the Standard Model and the subtle behavior of neutrinos — are discussed. The same is true for the relevant questions in astrophysics and cosmology — from the fluctuations in the photon background radiation to large scale structure formation, dark matter searches and the origin of cosmic rays at very high energies. The two viewpoints, from the small sizes or from the large scales, are convergent and reveal the same universe: the universe of astroparticle physics.
